I'm sure a lot of you guys have seen the pics on TFW2005 by now, taken by a moderator over there who has movie Ironhide in hand.

Ironhide's alt form is a GMC Topkick which is near the equivalent of a Ford F650 - a very big truck in other words.

This picture taken next to his True-Alternators (custom stickers on Mirage), shows why I can't buy these figures. Ironhide is pretty nice, but if he were the correct scale for Alts (1:24) he'd be huge next to a Mustang or a GT.

What also sucks is that if they ever make a Deluxe Alternator for movie Ironhide, he'd close in on the scale of my Prime and Starscream (MPEs) and make them look further offscale - especially Starscream.

My Titanium 6" Cheetor and Fallen came in the mail yesterday, along with the free Autobot and Decepticon magnets. The magnets are just 2-dimensional images, like fridge magnets (I was hoping for sculpted rubber like a lot of nicer magnets) but what they lack in depth they make up for in size, probably 4" each, I was surprised by how big these magnets are. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the 7-4-07 date printed at the bottom, but it's not too bad. Now my fridge is an Autobot and my foot locker is a Decepticon (no way in hell I'd put these on a car, they'd be stolen in 5 seconds).

Cheetor is pretty simple, your standard "stand up, you're a robot!" catbot, but the lines are elegant and reminiscent of his BM show look. The paint is top notch. The articulation could be better, and I was expecting a little more transformation. The swords are cool. In bot mode, his beast tail doesn't disappear or come off which sucks, and his head is set too low. But I still think this is a pretty decent piece.

Fallen is very cool in many ways, bot mode is bulky and tough looking, the hellfire paint elements are nifty, and the sculpted scratches are a good touch. Transformation is decent. Alt mode is a bit disappointing because the turret isn't close enough to the body and the rear halves of the treads are on panels that have the floppiest miserable hinges.
